We are building this because of our love for boating, and for the need we saw for improving the float plan process. Float plans are a super important safety tool that are too frequently underutilized because they are viewed as a necessary evil - non-standardized, paper-based, and tedious to fill out with much the same information every time.

I'm super happy to post this!
The team at YC9 has been working hard since the past few months to craft this great product.
@sarahcassady can you please tell us about the market? Why are you building this? What's the background story?

Very interesting! Are you focused on the Charter Boat market or do you also cater (or plan to) to the high end luxury Yacht market as well? The approach may be a bit different for that audience, but everyone appreciates an extra safety layer.

@gregoiregilbert, thanks! We're excited to finally release v1 to the boating crowd. Our market is currently leisure boaters who own their own boat, charter, or enjoy crewing with friends or other skippers. With a focus on safety, this has also been quite attractive to boating schools who are looking to standardize their float plan processes.

How does it work? Why should tech enthusiasts be interested?
